Orangeville Banner

Another Shelburne woman has been accused of crying wolf.
On Monday (Dec. 3), Dufferin OPP was called in to investigate a report of an assault occurring near Hockley Road and Highway 10 in Mono.
The supposed female victim had arrived at her office disoriented, claiming she had been assaulted.
After investigating, Dufferin OPP has determined the assault didn’t happen.
As a result, a 54-year-old Shelburne woman has been charged with public mischief. She is scheduled to appear in an Orangeville court at a later date.
This isn’t the first time Dufferin OPP has seen a similar situation unfold in recent weeks.
On Nov. 21, a 32-year-old Shelburne woman was also charged with public mischief, after claiming she had been abducted and assaulted in Amaranth five days earlier.
The woman had even created a detailed description of her abductor. After looking into the incident, police determined the woman's allegations were false.
